THE HORNING-. OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1906. HIS TRIAL IN 1I1CH Hermann '-"Will First Face - -t- Washington. Jury. IF HE WAIVES PRIVILEGE Hcncy 'Arranges Plans With Presi dent Government More Hopeful of Conviction There TJian' i '-". ' . . , . hi Orcjron. . . - 0REG0XIA2C NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jnn. 9. Representative Blngcr Hermann will be'brousht to trial in this cltv the last week, in March on the indict ment charging" him with the destruction of 5 letter-press copj'books while Com missioner of. the General Land Oflice. That fa to say. lie will be tried in iMa'rch. provided he waives" his constitutional ex emption from trial during the session of Congress. It Is entirely within his power to say whether he will stand trial then or wait until Congress adjourns. Francis J. Heney had a conference with the. President today regarding the land fraud cases in 'Oregon, as well as Her mann's case here, and afterwards an nounced tjiat it had been arranged to bring Hermann to trial at the time above stated. It is the Intention to place Her mann on trial- here -and, when t'isit cas Is closed, summon" him to Portland for trial on the Indictments for conspiracy. Did Not Consult Galley. This arrangpment to try Hermann in March was made without consulting the defendant, according to a statement made tonight by.-H. P, ;3atley.- his son-in-law and attorney. Mr, Gatle-y doclarod he had not Wen consulted and he knew Her mann had not been consulted by Mr. Heney or any one else, and the- had no official notification of the Government's intention' to "begin the ' trial In March. Asked - whether or not Hermann .would evade trial in March and xek a post ponement 'until the adjournment of Con gress, as Is wholly within ills legal right. Gstley had nothing to say. He would not venture to speak on this question for his clirnt. and. as Mr. Hermann is still de nying himself to all callers, he could not speak for himself. - It hart, b.een intended, to arrange. the Hermann case for hearing on February 15 or thereabouts, but the last weck In March has subsequently been agreed upon, as it will .give Hermann and Gatley ample time to rewver from their late illness and afford them every opportunity to. prepare for trial. If at some subscguQnt time Hermann should state Ills' unwillingness to be tried while Congress is in sosrton, the plan arranged today will have to be abandoned and the trial postponed, probably until next June. Strong" Case in Washington. There is a specla.l reason why the Government desires" to try Hermann first .in. Washington. Hore. he is in dicted alone and must be tried hy him self. It is" said that the Government has the strongest Jtind of evidence against him. and the case is considered complete from the aide of the prosecu tion. Furthermore, this case will go to a jnry .composed .of residents of the District of Columbia, and there will be no dlfiiculty in getting- a panel of unbiased men. When Hermann re turns to Portland he will be tried along with numerous other prominent men of Orogon. Hermann and those indicted with him for conspiracy have many friends und the Government is aware that. It will be extremely diflicult to select '12 men for Jury service withon. getting at least one man who is biased in hi opinion. Xot Kicking tlic Defeat. In other -words; there is a better change for a fair, impartial trial In Washington than in Oregon, and the Government, after having gone to great expense in working up these cases, does not want to be defeated, at cither end. provided it can produce evidence upon which to eonviet. That is why Hermann will be first' tried in A ashington. Hermann was not confined to his bed today, but. under the doctor's, or ders he is confined to his home, and will probably not be-pcrmittod Xo .go to the Capitol before next -week. 1 COXFmMlJD AVITIIIX WEEK Senate.

' UNGLESAM.ftRBITER Europe Guessing at His Policy Toward Morocco. EACH SIDE CLAIMS HIM France Disturbed nt Bcporl America Will Support German Position. " Police Control and .Open. Door -Main. Points. - PARIS, Jan. 3. Tho role of the United Stat at the Moroccan conference arouses much discussion and some appre hension, in which the officials and diplo mats are taking an active part. This Is due mainly to dispatches printed in Lion don papers and reproduced here, purport ing to give the American policy. One dispatch stating that the United States will uphold the German contention caused unfavorable comment, but ft dispatch from Madrid to the London Times saying the United States will support Great Brit ain. Russia, Italy, and Spain in the con ference counteracted the first Impression and caused moro favorable comment. The various outlines of the American polio arc misleading through confusion on the main Ismics before the conference and Inexactness concerning American in tentions. As a mattor of fact, the only questions In which the United States delegates gre likely to take part are: , First International control of the police. Second The open door. Third Protection of the Jewish resi dents in Morocco. However, it hoiild be understood ijat the first two questions- arc the most deli cate in the Franco-German controversy. France maintains that her special posi tion In Morocco warrants her in under taking a general surveillance of the police and other branches of Moroccan adminis tration. Germany lias, contested this-, maintaining that the jKwers should par ticipate in an international convention. Concerning the open door. France ad vocates the 39 years open-door clause In the Anglo-Frer.ch agreement, whereas Germany advocates the open door with out limit. Therefore the action of the United State delegates, being favorablo to International control of tlte police and unlimited open door, may have an Indi rect effect in ranging them on one side or the other in the Franco-German con troversy. Relativo to the Jewish phase of the question. Jacob Schiff. of New York, has urged this tfeature upon the .utlioritlcs at Washington and there te reason to be lieve that this will have a sequel at the conference.

If all the treatments for consumption were put in book form it would make a pretty big library.
